In short No! Having said that you can be more successful by having your own website and because of the way blogs are received on the internet a blog will get you even more success providing it is run correctly.
Too many people think I just have to create a blog or website to become successful, but the creation of the blog or website is just the beginning. If you want them to be a success you will have to promote them and with a blog constantly be updating it.
Search engines love content, and none more so than new content. So running a successful blogdoes take time and effort on your part although you can get a lot of the work on it outsourced if you can afford to go that way.
I would advise against using Blogger for your blog unless you have the facility to cloak all the SFI and TripleClicks links that you are going to use. These links often get Blogger.com sites closed down for spamming. It is unfortunate that when a company like SFI becomes so successful there are so many SFI links on the internet that they are regarded as spam.
If you really cannot afford to buy a domain name and hosting for your business and you are going to use Blogger then I suggest you cloak all your links using bit.ly
Your own domain and hosting is a far more ideal solution as you will be able to cloak all your links using your own domain name. This will see your domain name getting more clicks and as a consequence it will get a boost in the traffic rankings with company's like Google.
